## Inspiration
ESPN Cricinfo is the world's main source of cricket-related news and information. In 2017, the website layout was drastically changed to streamline it with other ESPN websites. I always had trouble using the new layout, and eventually I stopped using the site, causing me to lose touch with the sport. I decided to make a website that is intended to eventually replicate the _old_ ESPN Cricinfo.

A [no ball](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-ball) is a type of illegal delivery in cricket.

## What it does
It obtains ongoing matches and their scores from the ESPN Cricinfo website, the latest news from the BBC and the Guardian, and opinion articles from ESPN Cricinfo and its sister magazine, The Cricket Monthly. These are then presented in the form of a readable, navigable website.

## Usage
The contents of the `http_root` folder should be placed in your HTTP server's root directory, or a sub-directory if you wish to use that for hosting NoBall. The files in `backend` should always be running on the server computer as a daemon.
